Answer 2

to indicate the direction to Mecca

Step-by-step explanation:

Muslims pray in direction of the Mecca, a holy sanctuary located in Saudi Arabia. Every muslim, who can physically and financially, has the religious obligation to visit the Mecca at least one in his life.

When inside a building, it's hard to get your bearings for sure. So, every mosque has the mihrab to indicate in which direction the Mecca is located. Of course, the whole organization of the mosque is oriented that way too.
